G7 agrees on need to avoid 'security void' in Lebanon after UN force mandate ends
There was a consensus among G7 foreign ministers on "the need to avoid a security void" in Lebanon after U.N. peacekeepers pull out, France’s top envoy Jean-Noel Barrot said Tuesday.
They also agreed "on the need to move quickly toward a new security architecture" after the mandate of United Nations peacekeeping forces in Lebanon expires at the end of the year, he said.
